When Britney Spears was in her prime I was never really a big fan of her. I did like some of her songs, just not all of them. When she went through her difficult time of cutting off her hair and locking herself in the bathroom, I thought it …

Iowa is Slipknot’s third album and second album on Roadrunner Records, produced by Ross Robinson and Slipknot and released in August of 2001. The first thing people notice about this album is it’s artwork, it really is something I’ve never seen before, they used a shiny metallic looking mirror …

This is your typical hill billy and redneck song. It is quite obvious that the character in the song is a hardcore redneck. There is this girl who pulls up to his gas station with a Hollywood license plate and she wants directions to the interstate. So he gives …

Road House was an action adventure film from the late 1980’s which starred Patrick Swayze as a philosophical bouncer named Dalton. This review focuses on the musical soundtrack for this Zen-like movie.

This little amp really packs a wallop. But the only problem I have is that the sound doesn’t have enough bass for my taste. The overdrive is very sharp and crisp. And this particular model is very very good for extremely crunchy guitar riffs. …

Ever heard of Jack’s Mannequin? You should have. Not because of rising popularity or the fact that the band recently accompanied Plain White T’s and Panic! At The Disco on tour, but because of the melodic, piano-filled tracks that fill debut album “Everything in Transit”. Jack’s Mannequin brings a …

Overview —“ Jesus Of Suburbia, the final music video released by Green Day for their album American Idiot would have to be the one video throughout all of Green Day’s career that I can call my personal favorite. I honestly believe that this is Green Day’s most ambitious music …

I began listening to this amazing band quite some time ago (even though they haven’t been around for all that long) and I must say, as sadly often is the case with other bands, the sound of their music has NOT faded the tiniest bit. I can listen to …

To be honest, I never heard any The Chainsmokers before this. But I think this song has gained enough momentum ever since my friend let me listen to it more than 3 months ago.

Well, if the previous album, The Final Cut, was a Roger Waters album, this one is David Gilmour. It’s funny how these two albums are so completely the opposite of eachother. I prefer this one though, if I was to choose between the two. You can pretty much guess …
